Indeed. That might be more interesting to watch than his show though.
I know I should buy a membership, but reading those two posts and looking down at the ad picture of the guy pouring a pot of coffee down his throat added a visual I could have gone Years without. 
This is the strangest thread…
Hell no, not by a long shot.
This is a strange thread…
Better?
I’m never eating at your house.
Much, thanks.
His movies make a ton of money. Regardless of how lowbrow and stupid you may find them, they still have mass appeal to a large portion of the general public. If anything the Hollywood execs would be the ones fellating him to make more.
Yes, I too wonder how the pretty young thing 90% of straight males wish was fellating them keeps getting acting gigs.
He was on two seasons of that show. He wasn’t a main star of the 2nd season, but he was still there, and i suspect the only reason he wasn’t back for s3 or 4 was he was busy with his own shows.
Kristen Stewart has a single expression and often mistakes snorting for acting.
jack Kerouac would have strangled her had he been alive when they cast her in*** On The Road.***.
Kristen Stewart’s single expression is mooned-eyed calf to slaughter.
And TBG, you are so right. He’s such a non-issue, I forgot about him as a serial killer in Asylum. We’ll have to disagree on why he didn’t come back. 
But first!
All kidding aside, I remember reading something about the four kinds of movie actors.
So you have the ones who come in for an audition, and seem like they’re not much, because – well, because they’re not; put 'em on the big screen and they’d be nothing special. And then you have the ones who, yeah, okay, he’s not in costume and it’s not a rehearsal, but even just casually reading lines off the page in that cramped little room with all the cheap folding chairs you’re thinking oh my god this guy has movie-star presence – and when he eventually brings it 100% on film, he’s of course amazing.
And then you have the guys who seem like nothing special in person doing a table read, but come alive for the real thing. And then you have the rare guys who genuinely wow you in person at the table read – he has “it” – except, no, that’s as good as it ever gets; he’s halfway there when he’s half-assing it, but he has no whole ass to give.
I knew it!:smack:
This describes about 99% of the young actresses in Hollwood, and 99% of them are better actors.
Thought he had many alright moments in The Practice. Not really bothered to find anything else he’s been in though.
And yes, I have a theory that if you randomise Kristen Stewart screen captures, she’s got the same facial expression every single time.
He’s a competent actor, easy to work with, and has a good agent.
Feel free to use this explanation for most any commonly working actor, because it’s almost always the correct one.
Thomas Gibson makes Dylan McDermott look like Sir Laurence Olivier.
Hey, what happens in the make-up trailer, Stays in the make-up trailer. 
Dylan McDermott is neither the best nor the worst actor out there. He’s neither the handsomest nor the ugliest actor out there.
He’s a decent looking, perfectly competent actor of limited range. To be sure, there are LOADS of actors out there of whom I could say the same thing. So, why does he work more often than most of them? Because he’s established himself as a guy who shows up on time, knows his lines, and conducts himself like a professional. Producers who’ve worked with him in the past know they can depend on him, and hire him when they have roles available for which he’s well suited.
There are a LOT of producers and directors out there who like to use the same actors regularly. Many of them have a “stable” of actors they like to work with. That’s partly because they know the quality of the work they’ll be getting and they’ve established a certain rapport.
That can keep an actor working steadily. And the more steadily you work, the greater the chance that some OTHER producer will see you on TV or in a movie and say, “He’d be great for a new role I have to fill…”
A lot of us on the IMDB laugh at Ted McGinley, and ask how he keeps getting work. It’s probably for the same reason- he’s a good looking, competent, professional actor who does whatever producers and directors ask of him. People who’ve worked with him before tend to like him and hire him again, or gladly recommend him to colleagues to are hiring. It isn’t much more mysterious than that.
I’m not Kirsten Stewart’s biggest fan, but most of the people complaining haven’t seen her in anything other than the Twilight movies. Because, when given an actual character to play in a decent script, she can act. See her playing Joan Jett in The Runaways. She was also quite enjoyable and naturalistic in Adventureland.
She was playing a terribly written character in the *Twilight *films, and I don’t think there’s an actress alive who could have made that part work. Bella was written as a blank upon which the readers could project themselves.
I didn’t see On The Road because Kerouac always came across to me as a self-obsessed douchebag with whom I wouldn’t wish to spend five minutes, let alone two hours.
